Wide receiver Frank Epitropoulos announced Tuesday afternoon on his Twitter page that he will be attending Michigan State this fall. 247sports reports that Epitropoulos will be a non-scholarship player who will be eligible in 2015 after sitting out last season. Epitropoulos (6-foot-1, 206 pounds) spent two seasons with the Buckeyes, redshirting in 2012 and appearing in four games in 2013, recording one catch. He is a former three-star recruit from the Columbus area whose father and uncle both played for Ohio State. He left the program before last season, saying in a school release that he wanted to focus on academics as he prepared to apply to medical school. In East Lansing, Epitropoulos will be reunited with linebacker Chris Frey, a high school teammate. • Download the MSU basketball on MLive app for iPhone and Android• Download the MSU football on MLive app for iPhone and Android•Follow Mike Griffith and Kyle Austin on Twitter•Like MLive’s Michigan State Spartans Facebook page
